“A statue, but at least he has an axe”

Jul 2021

Another statue of an "important" man. Boring. I didn't even find any information. This kind of statues are just a waste of space. Make something interesting of it. Add information, make something special. The area around the statue is nice with a lot of restaurants and people moving by. At least he had an axe and not just the usual sword, that's why he gets an 2 instead of 1 in rating.

Swedish nationalist rebel leader and statesman

Sep 2019

This statue from 1865 is located at the western part of the Stortorget square opposite the neo-Gothic style town hall.

Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson (1390-1436) was the leader of the Engelbrekt rebellion in 1434 against Eric of Pomerania, king of the Kalmar Union.

On our visit, there was some construction work going on next to the statue.

Lovely area

Jul 2018 • Solo

This is just a statue in the street. I stopped to take a couple of pictures. Its nothing special, but I love the area around it – a pedestrian street with cafes and restaurants spilling out onto the street.

take a nice walk through town and see this beauty. I love these kind of sites. The walk was so peaceful and lots of places to eat during the stroll.

Just a statue

May 2017 • Couples

It's not that special, just a monument of a Swedish hero, but the whole square is quite nice, with some interesting buildings.

National hero

Mar 2017 • Solo

A monument of the national hero, on the main square, right next to the pretty city hall. It's good to know the history behind this man, the monument itself is regular, but the area is nice.
